Frequently Asked Questions About Air Ambulance Regulations
Are air ambulances regulated by the government?
Yes. Reputable air ambulance companies are strictly regulated. They must hold specific medical licenses from their State Department of Health to provide patient care, and the aircraft operators must hold Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 135 certificates.
Why is it important to use a licensed air ambulance?
Using a licensed provider guarantees that the company is legally authorized to administer medications, use advanced medical equipment, and provide critical care. Furthermore, health insurance companies generally will not cover flights operated by unlicensed entities or unverified brokers.
How do I know if a medical flight company is a broker or a direct provider?
Direct providers and authorized entities will transparently display their state health licenses, medical director credentials, and aviation certificates. Brokers often lack these direct medical licenses as they only outsource the flight to third-party operators.
